Resurrecting twitter for a career development workshop. so much has change since my last tweet. #gradschool #phdlife

I am very bad at Twitter despite using it almost daily from 2012-2016. I ditched it because I thought "real scientists don't use Twitter" when I started applying/attending grad school. Oh, how young and naive I was.

Again, 120,000 Americans are dead from COVID-19 and the president ordered testing to be slowed down because big numbers would hurt him politically. There aren't words for this level of betrayal.

If EO was in 1999, my parents and I would not be in the US today. Many of their colleagues and my own would not. Research & healthcare is driven by the very people Trump is driving out. nature.com/articles/d4158…

Congratulations to MIND Institute postdoctoral scholar Stela Petkova, whose dissertation received a 2021 Dissertation Award from the International Society for Autism Research, INSAR International Society for Autism Research! Way to go, Stela!

#IBNS2021 head to the remo poster hall via the virtual IBNS lobby to check out our first poster session on NOW!

First #IBNS2021 poster sessions last night and it was all virtual - and the app was surprisingly realistic! You check out the title, wander the poster boards, then can sit and be taken through it interactively, each pointing at locations! Thanks Stela Petkova IBNS

Best virtual poster session I've attended! We love to see it #IBNS2021 IBNS

Love a society that has such a strong focus on mentorship! More than happy to keep connecting people any way I can! IBNS #IBNS2021

our panels are the most fun #IBNS2021 Dr. Debra Bangasser Dr. Erica R. Glasper Jared W Young 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏳️‍🌈 Jill McGaughy Dr. Nii

Q: "How do trainees not get discouraged and stay in behavioral neuroscience?" A: "Stay in societies that affirm and validate behavioral neuroscience. Join a community." ^^^THIS. #IBNS2021 IBNS This has stayed with me from yesterday's panel & truer words never been said.

After over a year of trying (and COVID thwarting) it’s wonderful to welcome Stela Petkova to the team! Nick Everett Erin Gabriella Guy @MiaLangguth @BadolatoConnie

Words 20 year old Stela couldn't have dreamed of : I'm officially published in a textbook. A TEXTBOOK 😳🤓

Having FOMO missing #IBNS2022! IBNS is such a wonderful society, amazing people & the best conference! Not to mention how I met Michael Bowen and found myself as a postdoc abroad!

Listening to DR @PagliaroAlexa present her dissertation was worth staying til 2am for. From Baby Birds studying birdsong at Wellesley to fully fledged PhDs (in oddly similar fields!), tearing up seeing one of my sisters in STEM grow into an amazing scientist. #womeninSTEM

My first scientific project as an undergrad has evolved into a truly amazing publication. A unique model of studying sequential vocal learning in songbirds using fMRI. This has a really special place in my heart. #birdnerd #birdsong nature.com/articles/s4200…

A really cool virtual global collaboration with Dr. Lyndsey Anderson resulting in this cool study looking at ultrasonic vocalizations before, during, and after seizures! Audible vocalizations highest before seizure but USVs highest DURING seizure. 🤯 onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ep…
